thrown on and off at Will'and entirely independently ofthe pressure orfeeding devices that coperate with the .-main`platen and with the device51 which is in eifec't a. supplementary rotary paper support. It isfurther to be understood that when the de- Jvice 54 is employed toassist in feeding a 4'0 avide sheet extending rightward from the L mainplaten 16, the tally pressure roll 81 is `released and lockedotl' as inFig. 7. This tally pressure device-is used for a" different.

lcharacter of Work, for example, .where two 4s tally strips and a carboninlay are employed4 Ain connection witha non-superposed work sheet, onetally stripbeingl fed from the jdelivery tally roll 'to the receivingtally roll and wound on the' latter while the other 5ol strip is notlwound on the receiving roll but is left free to be torn off atintervals.. :The

pressure roll '81 is particularly useful in feeding the outer or freetally stripfwbch otherwise would not be advanced since it is. 55` notdrawn off the delivery tally holder or spool by the rotationcf thereceiving tally holder.

The tally. -strip mechanism proper is mounted, as shown in Figs. 1 and2, -on `a supportingfraine comprising, as in my prior constructionaforesaid', upright end plates or arms99 and 100v and a. connectingcross bar 101 bifurcated at its ends and receiving screws 102 by whichthe arms andcross bar 66 are secured together, forming a single rigidsupport or-frame. SaidV support is mounted on the cross rod 12 of theplaten frame, the

'lfhe latter has a hub 103 into which is threaded a. set screw 1011-that engages the rod 12. The supporting'frame is arranged near therighthand end of the rod 12 so that the tallyholders mounted on saidframe frame on a shaft 106and comprises, asbest shown in Fig. 13, a tube107 having hub portions 108 and. 10S, the tube'being slotted at 1 07a toafford a passage for a bowed spring` 109.' Said spring is suit-ablysecured to he tube and is adaptcdto coperate with th core of the tallysupply roll in order to frictionall)v connect said supply roll with thescrew 110 'by which the tube is fixedly seis arranged at the left of thetube and its hub receives a set screw 11-2 by .which the flange isadjustably secured.. A socket piece 1.13 fixed t'o the'shaft 106 at therightto receive-a friction disk 116. The deprer sion fits over andcoperates with the head 117 of a screw 118 which screws into the uphy alockingr nut 119. At its left-hand end the shaft 106 is coned or pointedas indithe arm 99 and providedwith a flange 122 and a knurled fingerportion 123 between which sai'd pin is engagedby the bifurcated upperend of a leaf spring 124 which is sespring tends constantly to press thepin in ward and maintain it engaged with the' shaft 106 but theconstruction permits ready withdrawal of the pin from the shaft so thatthe latter, together with the tally supply roll, may bel removedandvreplaced.
